TV show description:
This dramatic thriller series takes place in 1967 in Los Angeles, two years before the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders of 1969.
LAPD Homicide Detective Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny) is a decorated World War II vet who barely recognizes the city that he’s now policing. Long hair, cheap drugs, rising crime, protests, free love, police brutality, Black Power, and the Vietnam War are all radically remaking the world that he and the Greatest Generation saved from fascism some 20 years ago.
Emma Karn (Emma Dumont), the 16-year-old daughter of a former girlfriend, goes missing in a sea of hippies and Hodiak agrees to find her. He faces only hostility, distrust and silence. He enlists the help of Brian Shafe (Grey Damon), a young and idealistic undercover vice cop who’s been allowed to grow his hair out. Shafe infiltrates this new counterculture to find her.
The generational conflict between the two is immediate and heated, yet they’re both dedicated officers. They soon realize that the need to bring Emma home is more urgent than they first thought. She has joined a small but growing band of drifters under the sway of a career criminal who dreams of being a rock star — Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony).
Episode #26 — I Will
A newly “retired” Hodiak tracks down the serial killer who has been tormenting him for months, without the protection and authority of his police position. Manson sends Tex, Sadie, Emma, and Patty to 10050 Cielo Drive, where they are swept up in one of the most infamous crimes in the country’s history.
First aired: September 10, 2016
What do you think? Do you like the Aquarius TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
This is the best show on tv! The most hilarious and talented writing available today. I love DD in this role much better than the XFiles actually. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back Aquarius! I miss it! I agree with other viewers, the only thing networks are dishing up is rot.
It is very apparent that NBC only wants to cater to the viewing public that only wants to watch mind numbing tv programs. It seems like every time they put on a mind stimulating show they cancel it. It makes me wonder why they even bother putting on great shows, like Aquarius, to cancel it without even giving a a good series finally. Do they want to alienate there viewers that want something more than sitcoms and reality shows. If so, they are succeeding! Very disappointed!
Nooooo this has to be continued , I love the music , history and there’s enough story left for series 3 , a great show !!
I just finished watching the two seasons of Aquarius on nectfkix. I loved the shoe, and I’m extremely bummed the show got cancelled.
We loved this show… I need to see what happens with the Tate murders and how Hodiak and the rest of the gang find the Manson family.
I really liked the show. Disappointed it was canceled!
great show should have continued!!
This was a great show. It appears the networks want to shove crap reality tv down our throats. Well acted and well written shows don’t stand a chance apparently.
Seems that way as it was described so eloquently by another blogger. Good shows like Aquarius & Murder In The First, do not rate. I will miss both of these well written well acted Dramas.
Omg another excellent series on TV What? You plan to replace it with some stupid sitcom? Another OMA is that my father was a LAPD SGT Detective at WLA division. He and his team was involved with Charlie Manson investigaton. (Before Tate murder in Chatsworth). My mother and father house where I was raised was in Old Topanga Cyn. Charles Manson was known to be squatting while building his cult. One morning while waiting with about 20 other kids for the school bus Charles Manson came walking toward us. He knew one of the kids that was waiting with me… Read more »
Aquarius was one of the best shows I’ve watched for years. How these silly sitcoms and reality shows stay and great drama gets cancelled is beyond me.
Just came to check to if Aquarius was coming back. I’m so sorry to see it was canceled. Very disappointing.
Bring it back. NBC there is so much crap on television, and Aquarius is a jewel, please please renew it. Well coasted, well acted.
Loved Aquarius! Well acted with David Duchovny and a young actors, Will miss the conclusion, Had a good twisty plot of a real event!
Just watched the end of Season 2 and looked to see when Season 3 will be aired. Can’t believe NBC have cancelled it! Why are all the excellent series binned and we are stuck with rubbish reality type shows? Please NBC revise your decision and bring back Season 3. Great acting, great storyline. Riveting stuff.
PLEASE BRING IT BACK – VERY GOOD SHOW, WELL ACTED.
